Zach Edey Selected No. 9 Overall By Memphis Grizzlies I 2024 NBA Draft Grades I CBS Sports 

You’re right because Steven Adams plays for the Rockets now

This guy is NOT a generational player💀💀 btw steve adams plays for the rockets now

​@@2000roymel says YOU!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 good luck with his defense and no floor spacing

@@DC-nc9cn generational in size already, add 2 Naismith awards, add in his stats .. generational.. u will see soon next year paired with Ja

Yep and he only got better year by year in college.

If they can stay healthy! Watch out! They need to pick up one more BIG imo and find a way to keep Kenard.

@@thesusmasterthey don’t need another big. Santi aldama is fine off the bench and Brandon Clarke is excellent off the bench. Getting another big just forces one of these guys to prob not be on the roster. JJJ and edey will be elite starting with bane morant and smart

Those screens will be devastating!

top 3 pick imo

Right.. Hawks should of draft him he the next Yao Ming

Slow as hell. A decent post scorer but not that elite. Mediocre passing skills. He will be lucky to survive in the league for more than 5 years.

@@lewis3132he was the fastest big man at the combine with the drills so clearly you don’t know what you’re talking about..

@@N_belua wtf you looking at? You can easily google any articles and find the answer. From bleacher report: "Edey certainly doesn't have elite top-end speed-his sprint time was among the worst of any combine participant-but his lateral quickness in the lane agility drill was significantly better than expected. He performed better than UConn center Donovan Clingan in essentially every athletic metric." What the hell are you looking at when you say he is the fastest?

Very funny

@@teng-wuchang9305 I mean. We saw the head to head matchup. While the Huskies won the game, Edey was clearly superior vs Clingan. No cap fam.

​@@thesusmasterFacts 💯 , Those who watched the championship game can concur that Edey murdered Clingan in the paint 😅

spot on

No no no, the only centers that did what Edey did in college all turned out to be hall of famers. The only reason why Zach Edey was projected all over the board was because of differing philosophies. Some people think post monsters have no use in the NBA with this modern NBA nonsense, and some people just look at talent for what it is...talent. Edey has the talent to have been a top 3 pick, but the philosophy of the so called 'modern NBA' ignores the obvious talent, because less teams use post players, but most of those teams don't have players with enough post talent to feature, so its a circular argument, because the rarity of skilled post monsters has a bigger role in why less teams play that way then post monsters being some suboptimal way to win in the NBA. As a Lakers fan, damn you guys, we wanted him, but I knew that the Grizzlies would be the best place for him career wise. Now teams won't be able to just shut down y'alls offense by taking away your pick n roll like we did 2 years ago when we beat y'all 4-2, because now y'all will be able to just dump it down to him, or you can even add motion offense elements like more teams are doing with their centers, like what Denver does. Now, if y'all let him cook, he's going to be another thorn in AD's side, like Jokic and Sabonis. Edey has more scoring potential and more ability to command doubles than anyone coming out of college this year, but those 'modern NBA' proponents would try to distract you from that. No one on the Grizzlies dominated college like he did. He's going to be a real scoring threat, not some 10 points a night. If you let him get touches, he could easily put up 20 a night. Who is going to stop a hook shot from someone who is 7'4??? WHO??? Hook shots are very translatable from college to the NBA, one of the most un-guardable shots, and height translates, so you add the most un-guardable shot to 7'4, and not many players can do anything about it.

Agree Grizzlies need A Bigman Because they had no Legitimate Center

@@Eastra3that brotha preaching!!

@@Eastra3very good read, spot on 100%

Don’t disrespect Shaq and Kobe like that

Don’t disrespect Ja like that. Comparing him to a r@p1st

Someone who has zero offensive skills is an A++ pick? Get the fuck outta here lmaooo

D

@@teng-wuchang9305nah this is a bare minimum C+

@@teng-wuchang9305 "you don't know basketball" quoted Purdue Men’s Basketball Coach Matt Painter as saying.

🤔😕?

Good thing you’re not a GM

No man, lol. He was predicted to go past 20

Lol

@@tjqjodqo9204 That doesn't mean anything lol. You a new hoops fan?

@@thesusmaster A post 20 mock draft pick almost never turns out to be a good pick at 1 or 2 lol

Or rebound. Clingan is 7'2. 😅

Yeah Clingan is not that good.

Love it! And if this kid develops a shot. Watch out!

And that's exactly how JJJ won DPOY. Teams did what you're suggesting to Steven Adams. Once they beat him and think they have a basket JJJ out of nowhere. The dude put a million shots into the 4th row.

Yes because in an already crowded back court we need more competition…you smokin crack….we have a gaping hole at center without Edey

First off “Watch your mouth”🤔 ‼️ Second understand my comment draft Edey cause he’s a generational. Then draft back up for Knecht cause he’s a shooter and can create his own shot with size and length. They could have trade bait as a option.

Don't need him to space the floor. The Grizzlies need him for screen setting and rebounds. Jaren finally play defense how he wants. No way Thabeet as skilled as Edey.

@@playablyuntil they play a team that plays 5 out, its a horrible pick

@@SteadyAscensionthey need a center and Edey was a perfect fit

​@@SteadyAscensionthe 5 and out team still has to play defense my guy. It works both ways fam. Which shot do u think going in more consistently..... a 25ft 3pt or a 2-handed dunk???
